Who knows?
Every day ought to do it  :o
You'll sure have a lot of free weekend nights!

If you can negotiate a $40 rate with 2 hotels in Africa that will check you in every other day it may be very worthwhile...

Real shame im not going on shlichus to Africa next year.

Have you ever had any experience with phantom stays (paying for the room, not showing up and being credited for the stay)?

With amount of nutty mattress runners that I've seen on FT, it wouldn't surprise me if there was more than one moving to Africa for the next 6 months.

There must be an ambitious guy owning a spg treetop-hotel, and renting to 100's of spg people that won't show up.
